    That’s certainly your interpretation of it. I think it just shows that women doesn’t elect to work in jobs that require ppe.

    Funnily enough, when i google the term, i get womens ppe as the top result.

      Odd, I don’t see a single ppe product when I search “women’s safety items.” In fact the above meme pops up along with a lot of self-defense stuff.

      Anecdotally, I have been noticing more women working construction; though I haven’t looked at statistics. As for other ppe fields, idk about gender disparities in those but I know nursing is a woman dominated field and that requires plenty of ppe. Science research, labs, factories etc I have no idea about.
